Late Cut
<p>In the Nineties, match fees were fatter and the stakes higher, yet the temptations were darker. The match-fixing scandal exposed an underbelly of bookies, betting and sleaze. At the turn of the century, as heads rolled and reputations were sullied, the game weathered its darkest phase. </p> <p>In the decade of redemption that followed, captains and coaches employed analytics to decide match strategies. In Ganguly, India found an aggressive skipper who walked his talk. No one embodied leadership and team spirit like Dhoni, inspiring international respect for Team India that was buoyed by the dramatic 2011 World Cup victory. </p> <p>From the colourful radio commentaries that brought the game alive in the early days of Test Cricket to the elaborate theatrics of T20 in modern television broadcasting, cricket has travelled the distance. As it takes to the global stage at the 2028 Summer Olympics for the first time since 1900, we can say that the sport has truly come of age. </p> <p>Reliving these defining moments, Raghu and Giri hang up their gloves in this series finale of Well Caught. </p> <p>Thank you for listening.</p> <p>Credits:Akshay Ramuhalli, Bijoy Venugopal, Bruce Lee Mani, Narayan Krishnaswamy, Prashant Vasudevan, Sananda Dasgupta, Seema Seth, Shraddha Gautam, Supriya Joshi and Velu Shankar</p> <p>Acknowledgements and Resources:</p> <p>YouTube:</p> <p>Zee TV Closedown (1997)<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dky5I81rYeVo&token=8cfe9b-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky5I81rYeVo</a></p> <p>Javed Miandad last ball sixer in sharjah cup final 1986<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxhYJqV-cbMI&token=cf303-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhYJqV-cbMI</a></p> <p>India Pakistan Cricket Classic SHARJAH PEPSI CUP 1996<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D22QqFrlmkww&token=88c55c-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=22QqFrlmkww</a></p> <p>Fmr cricket captain threatens to reveal match fixing names<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmNy7IaJpwRo&token=edfffb-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNy7IaJpwRo</a></p> <p>INDIA: CRICKET MATCH FIXING ALLEGATIONS: REPORT (V)<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxqMa1EIJwo4&token=8d0537-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqMa1EIJwo4</a></p> <p>Not Cricket ! - Match Fixing (Orig 2001) Pt1<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmVOmJVTeIEc&token=a9ffe9-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVOmJVTeIEc</a></p> <p>Manoj Prabhakar presents a videotape on match-fixing in 2000<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDNYa2yuhNn8&token=6e1539-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNYa2yuhNn8</a></p> <p>deepanshu madan on match ka mujrim kon<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dxu7YGK1a0bo&token=23b06b-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu7YGK1a0bo</a></p> <p>Dadagiri ( Title treck )<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsjLJhCiDdvM&token=279641-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjLJhCiDdvM</a></p> <p>Harbhajan Singh Rips Apart Australia | 15 Wickets in 1 Match | INDvAUS 2001<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dt_cfSOcOB8A&token=afca73-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_cfSOcOB8A</a></p> <p>Sourav Ganguly: The Courageous Captain | Ian Chappell, Sachin Tendulkar | Discovery Plus<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dc4DY8iBQd5o&token=fb3bd2-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4DY8iBQd5o</a></p> <p>Cricket Connected: Nasser Hussain on Sourav Ganguly<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMq3J-JEk9JA&token=ed8c87-1-1698720006628">www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq3J-JEk9</a></p>

World Cup Whirlwind
<p>Athletic and courageous, all-rounder Kapil Dev smelled like team spirit (with a splash of Palmolive) and brought to India’s arsenal the firepower of wily pace, gutsy batting, and a never-say-die attitude. Promoted to captain in 1983, he led an underdog side (nicknamed Kapil’s Devils post facto) to a historic World Cup triumph. To date, he is lionised for his unforgettable 175 not out against Zimbabwe and his spectacular sprinting catch to halt the ferocious onslaught of Vivian Richards in the final. </p> <p>The Eighties saw India on the ascent, aided by a lineup of fluent stroke-makers in Dilip Vengsarkar and Mohammad Azharuddin, and tenacious all-rounders in Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri. Gavaskar, by now the elder statesman, cantered to a record 34 centuries and 10,000 Test runs.</p> <p>In 1987, when the World Cup was first played outside England, the home crowd in the subcontinent expected a repeat of 1983. That was not to be, but the end of the decade brought new hope. In November 1989, a 16-year-old boy marched out into the middle to face the brunt of a pugnacious Pakistani pace attack. His name was Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Cricket would never be the same again.</p> <p>Credits:Akshay Ramuhalli, Bijoy Venugopal, Bruce Lee Mani, Narayan Krishnaswamy, Prashant Vasudevan, Seema Seth, Shraddha Gautam, Supriya Joshi and Velu Shankar</p> <p>Acknowledgements:</p> <p>YouTube</p> <p>Kapil Dev Was India's Greatest Match-Winner: Sunil Gavaskar<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmwE9hMdlQ_4&token=84d349-1-1698717259249">www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwE9hMdlQ_4</a></p> <p>1983 WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL INDIA vs ENGLAND<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fm.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0Gavrm8m-Uw%26pp%3DygULIzgwaW5uaW5nMDE%253D&token=7e52d9-1-1698717259250">m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gavrm8m-U…IzgwaW5uaW5nMDE%3D</a></p> <p>HIGHLIGHTS: Prudential World Cup Final 1983 Watch India Win World Cup 83 Final | <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/83TheFilm">#83TheFilm</a> Trailor<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWmKQ7W-Miso%26t%3D71s&token=1cbe69-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmKQ7W-Miso&t=71s</a></p> <p>Kapil Dev and the story of the 1983 World Cup<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DL6TYFyDm5Io&token=320d2d-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6TYFyDm5Io</a></p> <p>1983 World cup winners: Indira Gandhi celebrates with Kapil Dev and co.<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsAIiVk3yhwI&token=fec745-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAIiVk3yhwI</a></p> <p>Kapil Dev - Palmolive Ad | (RARE)<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7fA7QhWcJM8&token=68eca8-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fA7QhWcJM8</a></p> <p>Old Indian TV Ads featuring Kapil Dev<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6WIRuaN_Bbc&token=10dd08-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WIRuaN_Bbc</a></p> <p>Old Doordarshan ad Vimal ft Ravi Shastri<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCBJS4un2fvk&token=bdcda6-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBJS4un2fvk</a></p> <p>M13 - Final India vs Pakistan 1985<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DJDudsBwP5DU%26list%3DPLoxtuGCuxiaBTDKRnNS3Eo8yeH8fwOxWz%26index%3D12&token=41941f-1-1698717259250">www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDudsBwP5…H8fwOxWz&index=12</a></p> <p>*RARE* INDIA v ENGLAND - SEMI FINAL 1987 WORLD CUP<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8P4Rq9mtxhc%26t%3D12s&token=7d3a99-1-1698717259251">www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P4Rq9mtxhc&t=12s</a></p> <p>Cricket bat sound | Hitting Sound<a href="https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_g0ceWN2_Mg&token=e99297-1-1698717259251">www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g0ceWN2_Mg</a></p> <p>Indi

Spinning Through The Seventies
The Seventies, in the annals of Indian cricket, constitute an epoch. Ajit Wadekar proved to be a shrewd and pragmatic captain, leading India to historic away victories in the West Indies and England. Wadekar helmed an all-star side that included Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Farokh Engineer, and Dilip Sardesai. It also included the legendary Indian spin quartet of Bishen Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, and S Venkataraghavan. For a game that favoured white in more ways than one, the Seventies brought a burst of colour. Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer set the cat among the pigeons when he introduced sponsor logos, coloured team uniforms, white balls, and floodlights, earning the ire of cricket boards but bringing irreversible change to the future of televised cricket. It was a tumultuous decade for the Indian subcontinent. The India-Pakistan war in 1971 birthed the new nation of Bangladesh, while the 21-month Emergency under Indira Gandhi led to a redrawing of political battle lines. Ironically, while their respective countries were at war, Indian and Pakistani cricketers played as one side for the Rest Of The World. Even as geopolitical machinations ran their course, the Indian spin quartet responded to the belligerent and martial pace of the times with their gentle and non-violent bowling, one that without doubt turned the tide.
